Who We Serve

Built for Every Los Angeles Business

From the entertainment industry to the warehouse floor, LLŪM brings senior-level financial expertise to businesses of every kind across the greater LA area. Whatever your industry, we speak your language.

🏗️

Construction & Trades

Job costing, WIP schedules, and AIA billing are complex. We bring controller-level oversight and CFO-level strategy to GCs, specialty contractors, and developers so every project is financially visible from day one.

🤝

Nonprofits & Social Impact

Fund accounting, grant tracking, 990 preparation support, and board-ready financial reporting — so your organization can stay focused on its mission without the financial chaos behind the scenes.

💼

Professional Services

Law firms, marketing agencies, consulting practices, and service businesses need more than clean books. We deliver profitability by client and service line, utilization tracking, and the financial clarity to price and grow with confidence.

🏢

Real Estate & Developers

Entity-level reporting, investor distributions, cost segregation support, and project-level financial systems for property owners, syndicators, and development companies operating across the LA market.

🏭

Manufacturing & Industrial

Inventory costing, COGS analysis, variance reporting, and operational dashboards for manufacturers, distributors, and industrial businesses in the LA basin who need to know exactly where their margins are going.

🎦

Entertainment & Media

Production accounting, royalty tracking, talent cost management, and project-based P&L reporting for studios, production companies, agencies, and creative businesses in Los Angeles.

🏥

Healthcare & Wellness

Revenue cycle support, practice-level P&L reporting, provider compensation modeling, and financial oversight for medical practices, DSOs, clinics, and wellness businesses navigating complex billing environments.

🚀

Technology & Startups

Investor-ready financial models, burn rate tracking, cap table awareness, and scalable accounting infrastructure for LA's growing tech and startup ecosystem — from seed stage through Series B and beyond.

Sound Familiar?

The Financial Headaches Holding LA Businesses Back

Most growing businesses hit the same wall. The books are behind, the numbers don't tell the full story, and the owner is making critical decisions without the information they need. If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone — and you don't have to keep operating this way.

📊

Financials That Are Always Late

Month-end closes drag on for weeks. By the time you see the numbers, the decisions have already been made — often wrong. You're running your business on last quarter's data and hoping for the best.

🔍

No Visibility Into Real Profitability

Revenue is up, but where is the money going? You can't identify which clients, projects, or service lines are actually profitable — so you keep doing work that costs more than it earns.

💸

Cash Flow Always Feels Uncertain

You're profitable on paper but constantly stressed about making payroll, covering vendor invoices, and figuring out what next month looks like. There's no forecast, just anxiety.

📋

You've Outgrown Your Bookkeeper

Your bookkeeper records transactions — but they can't tell you why your margins are shrinking, how to structure a deal, or what your business is worth. You need a financial partner, not a data entry clerk.

🏦

Not Ready for Lenders or Investors

When you need a line of credit, an SBA loan, or outside capital, your financials aren't clean, current, or credible enough to support the ask. Opportunities pass you by while you scramble to catch up.

⚙️

Systems That Don't Talk to Each Other

Disconnected tools, manual spreadsheet reconciliations, and duplicate data entry are eating up hours every week. Your team is doing the work twice and still getting the wrong answer.

📉

Tax Season Is Always a Fire Drill

Every year it's the same story: scrambling to get records together, finding errors from months ago, and paying more than you should because no one was planning ahead. It doesn't have to be this way.

What We Do

Expert Financial Services, Tailored to Your Business

We don't do one-size-fits-all. Every LLŪM engagement is scoped around your industry, your growth stage, and your specific goals — then staffed with the right level of expertise to match.

Years of expertise
01

Bookkeeping & Accounting

Clean, accurate books delivered on time — every single month. Our team handles AP/AR management, payroll coordination, bank and credit card reconciliations, and full financial statement preparation. You get a clear picture of your business without lifting a finger.

02

Controller Services

Beyond the books, your business needs financial structure. We provide month-end close oversight, internal controls design, cost accounting, industry-specific reporting (WIP, job costing, fund accounting), and the financial infrastructure your business needs to scale with confidence.

03

Fractional CFO

Strategic financial leadership without the full-time price tag. Your LLŪM CFO delivers 13-week cash flow forecasts, annual budgets and variance analysis, KPI dashboards, lender and investor package preparation, and executive-level guidance at every key decision point.

04

Blueprint Review™

Not sure where to start? Our signature fixed-fee diagnostic reviews your accounting systems, team structure, software stack, and financial processes end-to-end. You receive a prioritized roadmap of exactly what to fix, in what order, and why — with no obligation to engage further.

Signature Service
Why LLŪM

Not a Bookkeeping Firm. Your Financial Partner.

There's no shortage of accountants in Los Angeles. What's rare is a firm that combines senior-level talent, genuine industry expertise, and a long-term commitment to your success. That's what LLŪM was built to be.

🎯

Industry-Specific Expertise

We don't learn on your dime. Our team has spent years inside the industries we serve — construction, nonprofits, professional services, entertainment, and more. We know the reporting requirements, the common pitfalls, and the financial levers that actually move the needle in your world.

👥

100% US-Based Senior Team

Every LLŪM engagement is staffed with experienced US-based accountants, controllers, and CFOs — not offshore data entry clerks. You get a real team that understands your business, is available when you need them, and communicates clearly.

📈

Strategic, Not Just Transactional

Closing the books is the baseline. We go further — helping you understand what the numbers mean, identify trends before they become problems, and make confident decisions about hiring, pricing, capital, and growth.

🔧

Systems & Process Design

Most accounting problems are really systems problems. We build the financial infrastructure your business needs — the right software stack, clean chart of accounts, automated workflows, and reporting cadence so your team spends time on decisions, not data entry.

🤝

Long-Term Partnership

We're not a vendor you swap out when the contract ends. Our clients stay with us for years because we grow with them, adapt with them, and genuinely invest in their outcomes. When you win, we win.

📍

Rooted in Los Angeles

We understand the LA business landscape — the industries that drive this economy, the pace of growth, the regulatory environment, and the unique opportunities that come with operating in one of the world's most dynamic markets.

The Process

Getting Started Is Simple

We've designed our onboarding process to be low-friction and high-value from day one. Most clients are fully operational within 30 days.

1

LLŪM™ Diagnostic

We begin with a comprehensive review of your current accounting systems, financial statements, team structure, and software stack. We listen first — understanding your business, your goals, and your pain points before we prescribe anything. You leave with a clear picture of where you stand and what needs to change.

2

Strategic Build Plan

Based on the diagnostic, we architect a financial plan and reporting process built specifically for your industry, your operations, and your growth objectives. We define the right service level, software configuration, reporting cadence, and team structure — then we get to work building it.

3

Ongoing Partnership

Once the foundation is in place, we run your finance function on an ongoing basis. Monthly close, financial reviews, cash flow forecasting, and regular CFO-level meetings keep you informed and in control. You focus on running your business — we handle everything behind the numbers.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

Don't take our word for it. Here's what business owners across Los Angeles say about working with LLŪM.

★★★★★

“Before working with LLŪM, our financials felt reactive and stressful. LLŪM helped us bring real structure — tightening our job costing processes and holding us accountable through consistent monthly CFO meetings. Those conversations have gone from stressful to strategic.”

Aaron Gabriel
Big Tree Construction
★★★★★

“LLŪM's expertise in accounting best practices, across industries, and with NetSuite has been game-changing for us. Although all work is completed remotely, it feels as if our LLŪM team is here with us. Tim makes accounting — and learning about accounting — actually fun.”

Mike Williams
Duncan Galvanizing
★★★★★

“We used to be three months behind on our financials, constantly playing catch-up. LLŪM helped us create efficient month-end processes so we close our books by the 15th of each month. Now our financials are accurate, timely, and actionable. I can finally focus on growth.”

Construction Company Owner
Los Angeles, CA
★★★★★

“We were growing fast but our financial systems hadn't kept up. LLŪM came in, assessed everything, and built a reporting structure that finally gave us visibility into what was driving our margins. For the first time, I feel like I actually understand my own business.”

Founder & CEO
Professional Services Firm, Los Angeles

“We believe Los Angeles business owners shouldn’t be guessing about their finances — not about cash flow, not about margins, not about what comes next. We exist so they never have to.”
